The Week Ahead On Beacon Hill: $15 Minimum Wage Push

Community organizations, labor groups and business leaders gather to testify at the Massachusetts Statehouse Tuesday for a legislative hearing on a number of bills that would gradually raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.  

That's the same goal of a proposed ballot question that could go to voters next year. 

As we do most Mondays, we turn to State House News Service reporter Matt Murphy, who says, for now, these two minimum wage efforts will proceed in tandem. 

Carrie Healy hosts the local broadcast of "Morning Edition" at NEPM. She also hosts the station’s weekly government and politics segment “Beacon Hill In 5” for broadcast radio and podcast syndication.
